Field notes
The homepage’s timeline moves from a birth traced to circa 1811 through an 1867 marriage declaration to recordings made in 1972. It describes an archive of 120 lives with sources kept beside them. In the prologue excerpt, a 90-year-old great-aunt identifies relatives in a photograph; the page notes that two children remain unidentified and attributes the family identifications to James.
